Body of Memphis Woman Found in Ohio

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Police say a nearly nude body found at an abandoned rest stop along a U.S. highway in Ohio has tentatively been identified as a Tennessee woman.

Pickaway County Sheriff Dwight Radcliff said Saturday that fingerprint data shows the woman found Friday along U.S. Route 23 is 36-year-old Kim Vaughn of Memphis. He says an autopsy has not revealed cause of death and that lab tests will be done in an effort to determine how she died.

Investigators say Vaughn was last seen alive at about 2 a.m. Thursday near a truck plaza at an exit along Interstate-75 and I-40 in Knoxville, about a six to seven hour drive from her home.

Radcliff has said the body was found by two Ohio Department of Transportation employees emptying trash cans at the rest stop south of Columbus.
